Why are Soma flowers so red
--Remembering the excellent **** production party members, the Muli County Maban Post Road township postman Wang Shunyou
Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Yanping Tian Gang (Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 2, 2005)
The Hmong man in front of him is short, pale and old. June 2, 2005)
The Miao man in front of me is short, pale, 40 years old looking past 50, and when he talks to people, his naive eyes become wandering and tense, with a look of helplessness, and it is only when he communicates with the jujube-red horse carrying the postal parcels that he transmits a kind of heartfelt tranquillity.
Throughout the day, we have been following him in the mountains by the mules and horses stamped out a trip in the foot of the nest difficult to walk, precipitous, miss a hoof outside, is the ten thousand feet of the cliff.
In the evening, we camped on the ground, and on one side of the mountain in the virgin forest, we lit a campfire and danced in a circle. He was a bit shy and was pulled into the crowd of dancers, and before the song was over, he became intoxicated.
"I'm so happy! I'm so happy!" He couldn't stop talking out of his mouth." It's like a dream tonight, in 20 years I've never seen so many people on this road! If there are so many people every day, I would walk until I die of old age, I would ......" Suddenly, he covered his face with his hands and cried, tears dripping down from between his dark fingers ......
Is this the man, the horse, the road, who has been walking silently in the great mountains for for 20 years?
Is this the man who traveled 260,000 kilometers in 20 years - the equivalent of 21 trips on the Long March of 25,000 miles and six times around the Earth's equator?
Is this the man who spent his youth in the mountains and valleys for a simple but noble mission? I wept.
In this night on the plateau, I remember him forever - Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Muzheyuan Autonomous County, Maban Post Road Township Postman Wang Shunyou. Miao name: Misang.
If the Maban Postal Road is a "masterpiece" in China's postal history, he is the messenger for this "masterpiece"
Wang Shunyou did not say much, but he saw the heart and the liver. He said he often felt that he had come to the world for the sake of the postal route in his life.
The Horse Postal Route is defined in official texts as "a postal route that carries mail on horses and delivers it in shifts. In 21st century Chinese postal history, this primitive and ancient way of mail delivery is called "extinct", but in the eyes of the people of Muli, it is their only choice.
The Muli Autonomous County is located in the southwest of Sichuan Province, close to the Tibetan plateau. It is surrounded by mountains and sparsely populated, with an average of only nine and a half people per square kilometer of ground. County 29 townships, 28 townships do not have access to highways, no telephone, to horse pack people as a means of delivery of the postal route is the local township government and the people and the outside world to keep in touch with the only way. In addition to the county, all 15 postal routes are horseback postal routes, and the vast majority of them are in the high mountains above 4,000 meters above sea level.
Wang Shunyou still remembers a night in winter when he was 8 years old, when his father, who was a township postal clerk, crashed through the door of the house holding a horse's tail and fell to the ground." The snow burned my eyes." His mother found herbs to boil and smoked his father's eyes. Early the next morning, my father said he saw light. He bundled the mailbag toward the horse. Mother hugged his leg and cried. Father scolded her, "What do you know! If the county's documents are not delivered to the township on time, the whole township will suffer."
After 11 years, his father grew old and handed over the mailbag and horse reins to his 19-year-old son, and at that moment, Wang Shunyou felt he had grown up. He began to set off along the postal route that his father had traveled, responsible for Muli County to Bai Diaosheng, Sanjueya Township, toms shoes outlet, Kara Township Maban Township mail delivery, postal routes round-trip 584 kilometers.
The young rural postman first felt the Maban postal route of the remote and difficult. It takes him 14 days to walk a shift, two shifts a month, 365 days a year, he has 330 days to walk on the postal road. He first had to cross the 5000 meters above sea level, 6 months of the year covered with snow and ice Chalwa Mountain, and then into the 1000 meters above sea level, the temperature of up to 40 degrees Celsius Yalong River Valley, and halfway through the large and small primitive forests and peaks and gullies. He describes his life like this: snow in winter, mud in summer, swallowing a few mouths of tsampa noodles when hungry, drinking a few mouths of mountain spring water or chewing a few mouths of ice when thirsty, huddling in caves at night, sleeping under trees or bushes with the horse, and if it catches raining, he has to wrap his raincoat and lie down all night in the rainwater. At the same time, he has to be ready for all kinds of sudden natural disasters.
On one occasion, when he was walking to a place called Baiyangping, it rained heavily, and the road was washed out, and the horse slipped and fell between the cliffs, and he tried to reach out to pull it, and it also fell, and fortunately, it was blocked by a big tree. Fortunately, both of them were stopped by a big tree. His head was broken and bloodied, and his eyes and half of his face were swollen and shapeless. At that moment he really wanted to cry, hoping that someone would come to help how good it would be! But there was nothing but horses and mail.
These hardships are not the most bitter in Wang Shunyou's view, but the loneliness of his heart. On the mail route, sometimes a few days can not see a person's shadow, especially at night, the mountains are terribly quiet, out of reach, he can feel only the sound of the wind, the sound of the water and from time to time the sound of wolves howling. The laboring wife at home, the aged parents, and the young children ...... will be like a walking lantern in his head at this moment, and the tears will fall one line and another line. So he would drink and let his nerves pass out from numbness, for he had a journey to make tomorrow.
If it was just for a job, Wang Shunyou might not have been able to hold out on the Maban Post Road. What kept him going was the sanctity that the road conveyed to him.
"Every time I hand over newspapers and mail to the townspeople, they are as happy as the New Year. They often warmly stayed me to stay and eat, treating me as a big cadre of the ****production party. At this time, I really had a particularly happy feeling in my heart, feeling that I was a lesser person!" This is Wang Shunyou initially felt the value of the township postman's work.
Wang Derong, mayor of Bai Diaosi Township, once said to him, "Although your work is not earth-shattering, but Bai Diaosi Township can not be separated from you. Because you are our township's only external liaison, is the party and government representatives. Tibetans can't see you for a month. They will say: 'The Party and the government don't care about us.' When you come, they feel that the Party and the government have always cared about them!" These words made Wang Shunyou's heart roll.
Once, Wang Shunyou delivered the mail to toms shoes outlet the township government, just when he was leading the horse to turn around, he saw the township cadres are flipping through the newspaper, said "the western development is great, this time the development of the wood to speed up!" At one time, Wang Shunyou was so happy that he felt like drinking honey, because the newspaper that the township cadres were reading was delivered by him, and this thin newspaper had such a heavy weight! He felt more and more that the township postman's work was marvelous.
So Wang Shunyou walked down the Maban postal road year after year, and has been walking for 20 years now, and is still walking. Every day on the postal road, he is wearing that green postal uniform, he said, "the mountain folks look forward to me, in fact, look forward to wearing this uniform." Every day on the postal route, he is like protecting the lifeblood of the mail as protection, the daytime mailbag does not leave the body, the night mailbag as a pillow, rain and snow, he would rather be drenched in a through, but also to the mail wrapped up tightly. Every day on the mail route, he sings his own mountain songs. The Miao people of Yalong River originally love to sing, he said, "Mountain songs are my companion and my heart."
Over one slope comes another slope,
The mountain is high and the road is steep,
It is not the people who need me,
which likes to walk every day.
The sun comes out and shines on the hillside,
illuminating the white stones on the hillside.
If you want to learn that the stones have been there for a thousand years,
you don't want to learn that you lost your straw shoes halfway up the hill.
This is one of Wang Shunyou's countless mountain songs, the postal route has become a sacred mission in his heart. Since he loves his hometown of the mountains, since he is attached to the villagers in the mountains, since he respects the ****production party and the people's government like the sun generally shines on the mountains, since he was born in the history of Chinese postal horse class postal road "extinction" year, then go on the road! A person with a mission in mind is a valuable person.
If the Maban Post Road is a "heart" smelting, he forged in this smelting the most beautiful words - "loyalty"
Wang Shunyou love to watch movies, especially love to watch the movie about the heroes, he said, this is his father's heredity to him. When he was young, his father participated in "banditry" and was not afraid to die in battle, and he often taught his son not to surrender to any enemy. When Wang Shunyou first saw Wang Cheng shouting "fire at me" in the movie "Heroic Children," he came to admire him." Wang Cheng and I share the same surname. He is not afraid to die, and he dares to lose his life for the sake of the Party. Now there is no chance of war, to deliver the letter is to work for the Party."
One day in July 1988, Wang Shunyou to toms outlet online send mail to the Yalong River, came to the Yalong River, when the river is not yet a bridge, only a zip line. As usual, he first boarded the horse in a family home on the river, and then their backs on the mailbag, the rope tied to the waist, hitched to the slip hook, to the opposite side of the Yalong River slide. Fast sliding to the other side of the river, suddenly he hung on the rope on the rope broke, he screamed, from more than two meters high in the air fell hard, fortunately, landed on the beach, but the mailbag was thrown into the river, drifting along the water. Wang Shunyou crazy, do not know the water he grabbed a branch and jumped into the waist-deep river, desperately trying to salvage the mailbag, and so he was busy dragging the mailbag to the shore, the people all of a sudden collapsed. Some people on the bank saw this thrilling scene, even said he was stupid, for a mailbag, life are not. He said, "The mailbag is more valuable than my life, because it is loaded with the government and the folks!"
One evening in July 2000, when he was crossing the Tsarva Mountain, two robbers suddenly jumped out of the bushes, howling for him to hand over his money and things. He instinctively took a step forward, shielded the mailbag on his horse with his body, and shouted, "I am a township postman, serving the Party and the government, and delivering mail for the townspeople. If you want money, you don't have any, but if you want life, you have one!" Said, he drew out the firewood knife with him, staring dead at the robbers. The two robbers were momentarily stunned by this righteous country postman. Taking advantage of their distraction, Wang Shunyou galloped onto his horse and rushed over. Afterwards, some people sent him a nickname "Wang Dare", he said: "In fact, I am also very afraid of the heart, is this postal uniform gave me the courage."
The postal uniform gave Wang Shunyou more than just courage? It gave him the highest quality of a Maban postal road township postman - loyalty. It is also his loyalty to the party's cause as a ****production party member. Loyalty sprinkled every step on his postal route.
One fall in 1995, Wang Shunyou led the horse across the Yalong River suspension bridge just built, came to a place called "99 abduction". This by the horse gang stepped out of the goat path steeply circling between the cliffs, walking on this road, the horse's feces can fall directly behind the horse and people, follow the back of the people can only see the front of the horse's tail, the road is below the choppy river, the slightest mistake, will even fall off the cliffs with the horse, fell into the river.
Wang Shunyou carefully followed the pack mail horse, step by step, step forward, look to get out of the "99 turns". Suddenly, a mountain chicken flew out, scared the horse kicking and jumping, he rushed forward to pull the reins, who knew that as soon as he approached, the frightened horse lifted his hind feet and stomped towards him, and was stomped in his stomach, a burst of pain, he fell to the ground, his head sweating big big down.
After a long time, the frightened horse finally quieted down, and it looked back at the owner's painful appearance, his eyes became sad and miserable, and he kept rubbing his mouth against Wang Shunyou's face. Wang Shunyou tears, he raised his hand to the horse made a gesture, told it not to be sad, he does not blame it. He endured the pain and slowly stood up, took his companion, and continued on the road. Along the way the pain continued to increase, he walked and stopped, stop and go, really can not stand up, fell to the ground to lie down for a while, so, insisted on this class of mail all delivered.
Nine days later, he returned to Muli County, his stomach was already hurting too much. Neighbors with a tractor to pull him to the hospital, the doctor examined a shock: the large intestine has been kicked, due to the delay of too long, serious intestinal adhesions. Doctors said, any later, life will be lost. After the hospital's full rescue, Wang Shunyou finally saved a life, but his large intestine from a short cut, leaving a lifelong disability, the stomach often pain.
I asked Wang Shunyou frankly if he had ever thought of not doing this job, even if he went to work. He told me seriously: "No way. The people need me, they are waiting for me to bring them news about their relatives, and the township government is looking forward to me bringing them the voice of the party. I do this work for the Party and the people, some people like me; if I work, I just earn money personally, no one likes me. I only do things for the Party and the people, the heart is comfortable, good."
The words of this Hmong man, every sentence is from the heart to flow out. It is with such a heart, 20 years, he did not miss a postal shift, did not lose a mail and a newspaper, delivery accuracy of 100 percent.
"The mountain is old if you have love for the mountain". If Wang Shunyou walked the postal road can be moved, then, here every mountain, every ridge, every tree, every stone, will be sprinkled with tears like poetry and song to honor the people's rural postman, with 20 years although nine deaths without regrets of the heart, forged a *** production party members of the Party and the people's cause of the noblest qualities - "loyalty".
If the Maban Post Road is a link between the party and the people's ties, he is on the plateau to hold up the spine of this link
Following Wang Shunyou all the way trekking, and finally came to the first postal road on his first big station in the township of white towers. A group of townspeople were waiting by the roadside, and when they saw him, they all gathered around. Some people give him tea, some people to his door bag stuffed eggs, there is a townspeople actually hold a live old hen bundled to his horse. Wang Shunyou, like a big child returning home from a long journey, was so happy that his gums smiled and showed. In the evening, sitting in the small courtyard of a townspeople's house drinking ghee tea, he told me, "Every time I go to the countryside is like this, the townspeople need me, and I can't stay away from them."
The mountain people make friends from heart to heart. Their affection for this township postman made me touch Wang Shunyou's heart more y.
August 1998, Muli County suffered a century of rare rainstorms and mudslides attacked, leading to the white Diaoyu Township, all the roads, all the roads were washed away, the township almost became an island isolated from the outside world. According to regulations, this situation Wang Shunyou can not run the mail class. However, when he found two university acceptance letters in the mail, he could not sit still. He knew exactly what the two notices meant for the children in the mountains." I must not delay the future of my children!" He hit the road.
Wang Shunyou is how to drag the horse's tail rolling and crawling to the white Diaoyu Township, he can no longer remember. But the family members of the Buyi girl Hai Xuyan and the Tibetan girl Yicang Lachu, who received the notification letter that year, clearly remember that the whole family cried when they opened the door of their home in the midst of days of despair and saw Wang Shunyou, who was covered in water and mud and bleeding on his legs, pulling out from his arms the university acceptance letter wrapped up in a plastic bag and dripping with no water.
Now, both girls have graduated from college and are working. Yicang Lachu's father, Wang Bajin, said with red eyes, "Misang is one of the most loyal people, someone we can't live without here!"
Wang Shunyou is indeed an inseparable person in the mountains. Because of his dedication, the townspeople feel more of the warmth of the world outside the mountains.
There are a lot of families living sporadically in the mountains on the postal road, and there is no town near them, not to mention no post office, so Wang Shunyou has become the "mobile post office" on the road. 20 years, he has been collecting and distributing letters and parcels on behalf of countless people. When he walks the postal route, there are always some folks with letters and packages waiting at the roadside early, asking him to send them to the field. Many people in the mountains don't know that mailing letters and parcels requires postage, and every time Wang Shunyou accepts them without saying a word, returns to the county town, and then pays for the stamps or pays for the postage and sends them out.
The residents of the mountains, most of them are very poor, their contact with the outside world is often just to buy some salt, tea, and this thing also have to go back and forth in the mountains for three or four days to buy. Seeing these scenes, Wang Shunyou was saddened in his heart, so every time he ran the mail route, he loaded a few packets of salt, tea and medicine, and when the people in the mountains needed them, he handed them a packet. Seeing the smiles that bloomed on their faces when they received the packets, his heart was filled with a very happy feeling.
With more good deeds done, folks say Wang Shunyou is a thunderbolt. He said, "I can't compare to Lei Feng, but I want to learn from Lei Feng."
According to the regulations, the township postman only needs to deliver the letters to the township government of each township even if the task is successfully completed. But Wang Shunyou always insists on delivering letters directly to farmers. He said, "The township cadres are busy and don't have time to deliver the letters, so I can't bear to let the townspeople travel all the way to the township to pick up the letters. It's convenient for everyone if I take a few extra steps."
One winter, the snow fell heavily, Wang Shunyou walked from the wood to the white Diaoyu Township has been the third day, his hands have a letter sent to the white Diaoyu Township sip Miping village Tao Lao five home, guessing that may be the Tao family more than a decade without a letter from the daughter wrote. He put down the township newspaper, water did not bother to drink a mouthful, and went on the road, walked more than 10 kilometers in the snow, the letter handed over to the hands of Tao Lao Wu. The letter was indeed written by the Tao family's daughter, saying that she had married and had a child outside, and also attached a picture of the child. The Tao family wept with joy, and Wang Shunyou also wept with joy.
In 1997, the highway from Muli County to the township of Bai Diaosi was fully open, and it took only four hours to get there by car. Wang Shunyou can be completely diverted to take the highway directly to the white Diaoyu, both safe and labor-saving. But he is still holding the horse, over the mountains and walking for two days to the white towers. Some people do not understand, said he was stupid. He said: "Not I stupid. If the reroute, I am convenient to save energy, but the snowy mountains under those who entrusted me with letters, packages of folks will not be convenient. So, I'm going to continue to walk this road!"
In the fall of 2004, the state organization for the old, young, border and poor areas of cataract patients free of charge to carry out blindness restoration surgery "health fast noon" sailed into the wood armor. The comrades of the Muli County Disabled Persons' Federation handed the notice to Wang Shunyou, hoping that before the "Health Express" left Muli it could be sent to toms shoes outlet online the township, where there are old people who are blind because of cataracts.
When Wang Shunyou was suffering from stomach pain, but he did not say anything, holding the horse on the road. He was almost all the way to rush, did not eat a peaceful meal, did not sleep a peaceful sleep, as long as the two legs can move, he did not stop walking, as a result, 7 days of the road, but even with 4 days to catch up. By this time, he had been sick and overworked tortured beyond recognition, both hands over his stomach, face white as paper, sweat dripping down, and even the strength to speak is gone. He was admitted to the township hospital.
That night, the news of the "Health Express" spread toms shoes outlet every household, and the news of Wang Shunyou's illness for sending the notice spread. Early the next morning, folks flocked to the hospital, a blind Tibetan old Abba, with only a few eggs at home, let people assisted to Wang Shunyou's bed, pulling his hand, constantly wiping tears, mouth repeatedly recited: "My son! My son!"
A heart of gold for a heart of gold. Maban postal road along the villagers are Wang Shunyou as their own relatives, whenever he wants to come to the day, many people will be waiting at the roadside, pulling him to the home to drink tea and dinner, when he left, his pockets will be stuffed with eggs, walnuts, fruits and other kinds of delicious things.
In the winter of 2003, Wang Shunyou sent mail on the way to the stomach disease, lying down in the toms shoes outlet township a family called Qiu Lapo home. He rested for half a day and insisted on continuing on the road. Qiu Lapo dissuaded, and assured, so the work on hand to explain to the family, accompanied by sick Wang Shunyou on the road together, walked a full six days, until the mail finished, and sent Wang Shunyou back to the wood home.
Wang Shunyou is happy, his happiness comes from his work. Although he walked silently alone for many years, but his chest between the heart of the mountains inside and outside the heart of the stirring; although his body is small, but he is between the party and the people to raise a blood tie; although he is as simple as a stone, but he stood up like a mountain. He is like a spine on the plateau, with the silent power to practice a simple belief in his heart: for the party and the government to do something great, for the people to do something great!
If the Maban Post Road is a person's long march, this long march condensed with his whole family's noble dedication
At the mention of home, Wang Shunyou always said: "I have three homes, one in the mountains, one on the road, one in the riverside."
The riverside home is the home of his parents who live in his hometown in Baidu Township along the Yalong River. This home is thickly loaded with the grace of his upbringing, he should have been in his parents' knees to fulfill their filial piety, however, the old father in the reins of the horse to him on the day told him: "You only for the government and the folks to do this thing well, do to the end, is my good son!" A sentence, handed him a mountain of mission, but also let him forever negative a son's heart debt: is his younger brothers in his eldest son filial piety and respect for the elderly, the most painful old mother did not get a day of his care alive, dying, shouting his name, can not see his figure. At that moment, he was on the mail road over the snowy mountains. From then on, the top of the blue sky of the snowy mountains, become the eternal pain in his heart!
Home on the mountain is he and his wife and children in the wood outside the city of a mountainside called green sound pond built between the nest of poverty. The year he and his wife, Han Sa, got married was also the year he took the reins of his horse from his father's hand. They were married for 20 years, he ran on the postal route for 20 years, 20 years counted less than two years at home. Three acres of land, three cows, more than a dozen sheep, four adobe houses, a pair of children - the family is all by his wife a person struggling to hold up. Han Sa said she herself is "no one in the door, no one out of the door," thinking too hard to take out a picture of her husband to see. As a result of overwork, her health is very bad, and she has been sick for many years. And such moments, Wang Shunyou always on the road.
One time, Han Sa was sick, because there was no money, could not go to the hospital. At that time, her son was at school, her daughter went to a relative's home, she had to lie at home alone and suffer. I don't know how many days and nights, when Wang Shunyou came back from the postal service, she was already speechless, looking at her husband, only a stream of tears downstream. Wang Shunyou borrowed 1,000 yuan from the unit's labor union and sent his wife to the hospital, serving her for three days. three days later, his wife was discharged from the hospital, he had to go on the road again. Holding Han Sa's hand, his heart weeping, he said softly, "People are still waiting for me to deliver the letter!" The kind woman nodded.
This kind of memory, and more than once or twice. That time, is a neighbor found a few days do not eat and drink, has been sick to death Han Sa, legs running more than two hours, rushed to the county post office to report, only to save her life. And at that time, Wang Shunyou is still three days away from home.
Some people have asked Han Sa if she wants Wang Shunyou to continue to run the postal route. Her tears came out at once." As long as he's home every day, even if he doesn't do any work, I'm happy. But he's been delivering mail for 20 years, and he can't stand it if you let him stop. The mail route is his life, and home is his heart!"
Hansa is really the woman who understands Wang Shunyou the most, and this home is indeed the heart he can't let go of. He has a yellow crumpled student workbook, each page is filled with the mountain songs he sang on the postal route, a large part of which is the love song of love and hope. He said, "That was sung to Hansa." There were tears in his eyes as he said this.
The high mountains rise up and cover the mountains,
The horse's tail is wrapped around the fishing rod,
The vine is wrapped around the green hillock tree,
Brother's heart is wrapped around your heart and liver.
The roe deer descends from the mountain,
The fire burns between the rocks and does not see smoke,
Three days without seeing your face,
When you have to not see dozens of days.
The beautiful lyrics of the song are full of the pain of parting.
Happiness is precious because it is rare. Wang Shunyou's love for his family flowed through every little nuance of the heavy-hearted Miao Hanzi's love. Post road folks stuffed him with delicious things, even a fruit, a sugar, he never could not eat a bite, always bring home, let his wife and children to taste; every trip out, he is always one piece of the home arrangements, the wife to eat a piece of the medicine counted, packaged, a thousand words of advice, a million instructions. He said to the reporter: "Every time the postal route back, when far away can see halfway up the mountainside home, the heart began to panic ah, can not wait to jump to the home, the rest of the two-hour road, almost all the way to the trot ......"
The stretcher picking the water on both sides of the shelves, Gu Gu got a head, can not take care of the other end. Wang Shunyou's guilt over his family may be something he can't let go of for the rest of his life. He said: "The Maban postal route has to be traveled by someone, just like the victory of the revolution has to be sacrificed. In order to be able to convey the voice of the Party and the government, in order to make more folks happy, I'm a small family to give up!" The small home was given up, but the home on the road cost him almost all of his life. In this home, the horse is his favorite. He said, "so many years, with me through the most bitter, the most difficult, the most days are the horse, I with my wife and children together with the day is not as much as with the horse together, all the words in my heart said with the horse!"
In 20 years, Wang Shunyou has had more than 30 horses, he can say every horse's temperament character, but also gave them a good name. There is a horse called Qinglong, a snow-white, followed him when only 5 years old, has been accompanying him for 13 years. This particularly spiritual horse, can remember Wang Shunyou in the postal road every place used to rest, whenever it is getting late, to see the master due to fatigue and slowed down the pace, it will use its mouth to bite his shoulder, meaning to say go faster. Then, it would walk forward at a fast pace alone, and when Wang Shunyou arrived at the resting place, it had already waited there quietly.
Wang Shunyou's most memorable moment was when the horse saved his life.
January 6, 2005, Wang Shunyou in toms shoes outlet online township to return after the mail, when he led the horse walked to the Yalong River straight to the suspension bridge, somehow, four hooves of Qinglong stirrups refused to go. Only a dozen meters away, Wang Shunyou saw a team of horses on the suspension bridge, he wanted to ride with them, then shouted: "wait a minute ......" but his green dragon step not move. Just when he was anxious to pull and pull, a sight that stunned him: drawbridge side of the arm-thick steel cable suddenly broke, the bridge instantly flipped into ninety degrees, walking on the bridge 3 people, 6 horses all fell into the river, in the blink of an eye was swirling with the river swallowed up. Half a day later, he came back to his senses and hugged his green dragon and cried.
The horse, now 18 years old, was boarded at a farmer's house, which he visited every few days. He said horses on the plains typically live 30 years, while those that walk the mountains every day only live 20 years. He had a few other good horses like Qinglong, but some were old; some were injured, and some had died. Television stations in the county and the province made a lot of films of him and his horses on the postal road, but he never watched them. Because the moment he saw those horses of his, his heart would shed tears.In 20 years, he gave too much love to the horses.
In the more than 800 yuan of salary that he gets every month, he has to post 200 yuan just to buy horse material. Although the unit issued 70 yuan a month horse material fee enough to eat grass, but he also give the horse to eat a lot of bush. He often said, the horse only eat well, the body has the strength, walk only walk fierce.
On the postal route, even if the walk is hard, he can never afford to ride a horse, and even when he sees that the horse is too tired, he will unload the mailbag from the horse's back and carry it on his own body.
The horse gave Wang Shunyou too much comfort.
The TV program he would most like to watch is horse racing; the place he would most like to go is the horse market; the people he is most grateful to are Ha Dongmei, an employee of the post office in Miyun, Beijing, and Wu Jingping, secretary of the Party committee of Liangshan, as well as several donors he cannot name, who gave him the two horses he has now. I remember when he first received the horse sent by Secretary Wu, it was too late to say a word of thanks, a pull over the horse's head, both hands wrenching the horse's mouth to see the teeth, and even said: "Good horse! Good horse!" After saying this, he burst into tears. Because he did not expect, 20 years, he just did what he should do, but got such a thoughtful encouragement. He said, "As long as I can walk, I'll keep walking!"
It's really impossible to imagine what Wang Shunyou would do without his horse. Not long ago, he went to Beijing as a national labor model for a few days of meetings, every night lying in the hotel fluffy bed, just can not sleep well. He said, and the horse is used to sleeping together, there is a horse, the heart is stable, no horse, the heart is empty, even if you squint for a while, and then dreamed of holding their own horse to walk the postal route.
Three homes, three feelings, three loves. Wang Shunyou shed tears because of them, but also because of them and sing; because of them and pain, but also because of them and happiness. Someone asked, which of these three homes is the most important? He said, "I can't let go of any of them." I can't let go because I'm connected. All three families are connected to the same heart, a heart that burns for the Maban Post Road!
If the Maban Post Road is a rainbow on the plateau, he is the Soma who drew and wove this rainbow
Wang Shunyou held the horse step by step and concentrated on walking, from the back of the past, his back is very hunched.
In the average workplace, 40 is a golden age, but for the village postman on the Maban postal route, 40 is old. Like other rural postmen, Wang Shunyou suffers from rheumatism, headaches, stomach pains and various other ailments, in addition to epilepsy, and now has to take medication every day to control his condition.
How far can the man who has traveled the longest on the Maban postal route in Muri go?
He said, "Until I can't walk anymore."
The reporter asked, "If you were to make the choice again, would you still walk the Maban Post Road?"
"That wouldn't change."
"Why?"
"The Maban Post Road has opened my heart all my life, and working for the Party and the government, and working for the townspeople, has made me live a comfortable, open life! It also makes me feel that I am a lesser person in this big mountain!"
"In the general view of the people, a person who leads a horse to deliver a letter can be how important?"
"We are too big and too poor in the Muli Mountains, and without a mail route, folks would feel lonely at heart. Now we have more than a dozen Maban postal routes, a dozen township postmen, each running a road, inconspicuous, but all these roads add up to connect folks with the world outside the mountains, connecting the Party and the government with Muri!"
The reporter's heart was filled to overflowing with something hot and spicy.
Liangshan in May, the mountains in full bloom a piece of a fiery red flowers, such as rainbows sprinkled on the plateau, wantonly rosy. Fellow a Tibetan friend told reporters, this flower is called Soma, it only grows in the altitude of 3800 meters above the plateau, short, deep roots, vitality is extremely strong, even in winter, the flowers are gone, its purple-red branches and trunks in the sun's illumination, it will still be like charcoal as red.
Oh, the Soma flowers ......
